Scott,
You have a PIX 520 revision __ where __ is one of A, B, C, or D. There
should be a sticker on the back of the PIX that tells you it's revision.
Sometimes the sticker on the back says REVISION B0 (as in B-zero) or
REVISION C0.
If you have a revision A, B or C, you will probably need the upgrade. The
A and B models shipped standard with 2 MB flash and 32 MB DRAM. The C
model had 2 MB flash and 128 MB DRAM. The D model is golden (for all 4.x
and 5.x images) with 16 MB flash and 128 MB DRAM.
If you don't have a sticker on the back execute a "show version" command.
IF processor speed = 233 THEN rev. A
ELSE if processor speed = 350 AND dram = 32MB THEN rev. B
ELSE if flash = 16 THEN rev. D
ELSE rev. C
I hope this helps!
Regards,
Brian
